You can bet Musk won’t trim anything from the space program HE benefits from

 

[Calypso Jones]

So you say

So you say

Well we have what HE said and the fact that he runs a space exploration company with Federal contracts

 

[odanny]

Somebody from another country, a fucking immigrant, is telling Americans they will have to suffer under Trump and himself, even though he is worth 250 billion, and the Trump sheep cheer for more.

You can't make this up, no one would find it believable. Trump's plan is the same as his plan to replace the Affordable Care Act.

He doesn't have one, and never will.

What Elon actually said was government would have temporary hardship as waste was uncovered and eliminated. Good. Looking forward to it.

Well a Depression might reduce prices, I guess.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Every business he is in involves direct contracts or subsidies from the government.

Less debt and social programs.

Translated: Over-dependence on government and free stuff at the cost of others. Such a brilliant plan to enslave their constituency into entitlement.

Democrats continue to beat this dead horse, which continues to fall flat. They've cried wolf too many times.

A modest 1% cut is not going to make Medicare disappear

Definitely.

Health insurance costs are going to force Medicare to take over completely.

Billionaire Elon Musk’s statements are stunningly contrary to Trump’s sunnier description of American life under a second Trump presidency.

Former President Donald Trump’s biggest financial backer and top campaign surrogate, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, says he and Trump plan to inflict “temporary hardship” on American citizens if the Republican nominee wins the White House in November.

Trump has said Musk would lead a commission on how to reduce government spending, and Musk has said he would identify trillions in cuts.

“We have to reduce spending to live within our means. That necessarily involves some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long-term prosperity,” Musk said last week during a “Telephone Town Hall” hosted on his social media website.

Musk, the tech billionaire who has spent more than $130 million backing Trump and regularly spreads racist conspiracy theories about immigration and voting, acknowledged that steep cuts would trigger political opposition, but said Trump would support the idea of everyone “taking a haircut,” an informal financial term for when an asset loses value.

“President Trump is supportive that everyone’s taking a haircut here because America’s got to live within its means, and we can’t be a wastrel,” Musk said.

On Tuesday, Musk offered a similar sentiment. On X, the website formally known as Twitter until Musk bought it, a user wrote Trump’s plan for mass deportations, “combined with Elon hacking away at the government, firing people and reducing the deficit” could cause a “severe overreaction in the economy,” with markets tumbling, followed by “a rapid recovery to a healthier, sustainable economy.”

“Sounds about right,” Musk replied.

Economists in both parties say removing millions of people from the country abruptly and imposing tariffs would quickly lead to price spikes and reignite inflation. When coupled with Trump’s plans to further cut taxes on the wealthy and corporations, his economic policy would in effect raise taxes on lower- and middle-income Americans to pay for high-income tax cuts.

Elon's idea of saving money is to fire everyone and sell off everything. Is that how you run an entire government, or is that how you run it completely into the ground? Twitter is currently bleeding hundreds of millions of dollars every year.

He has concepts of a plan

First off. I don't know that i believe a damn word you say...and then.....

So effing what. The American people have tightened their belts. and if that is what it takes to get this country out the hands of these damn dems, SO BE IT.

So wait, I thought you wanted Dems out of the white house because you believe we can do better economically with Trump over Harris, or at least thats what maga keeps telling us. Now you're willing to accept doing way worse under Trump? LMAOO.
